Missouri Revised Statutes Title XXII. Occupations and Professions § 324.147. Issuance of a license by the board, when--provisional license, when

1. A license as a provisional licensed clinical perfusionist may be issued by the board to a person who has successfully completed an approved perfusion education program and upon the filing of an application, payment of an application fee and the submission of evidence satisfactory to the board of the successful completion of the education requirements as provided in section 324.136.

2. A license as a provisional licensed clinical perfusionist may also be issued by the board to a person who has held a certificate as a certified clinical perfusionist issued by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion, or its successor, if the person's certificate lapsed for reasons other than disciplinary action by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion. The board shall adopt rules to ensure that the person is actively seeking to obtain a current certification by the American Board of Cardiovascular Perfusion as a means of obtaining a license as a clinical perfusionist pursuant to subdivision (2) of section 324.150.

3. A provisional licensed clinical perfusionist shall be under supervision and direction of a licensed clinical perfusionist at all times during which the provisional licensed clinical perfusionist performs perfusion. The board may adopt rules governing such supervision and direction which do not require the immediate physical presence of the supervising licensed clinical perfusionist.

4. A provisional license shall be valid for one year from the date it is issued and may be renewed, subject to rules adopted by the board, by the same procedures established for the renewal of licenses pursuant to section 324.144, if the application for renewal is signed by a supervising licensed clinical perfusionist.

5. If a provisional licensed clinical perfusionist who obtains a provisional license pursuant to subsection 1 of this section fails any portion of the licensure examination, such person shall surrender the person's provisional license to the board.
